Most Australian women are conscious of the products they use on their skin but there is a misconception that an effective anti-ageing skincare regime requires chemical-based products. zk’in (pronounced ‘skin’) is an Australian organic skincare brand that dispels this myth and encourages women not to compromise when it comes to their skincare regime. zk’in is ACO certified organic and has clinically proven ingredients for visible results.
“The z in the zk’in name represents zero tolerance to anything less than the best,” says Karen Varker, General Manager for zk’in. “We demand organic ingredients that are toxin-free and non-irritant but deliver results, including clinically proven superfood ingredients and a unique, all-natural preservative system.
zk’in Line Smoothing Serum provides just this. A powerful organic anti-aging serum for crow’s feet and wrinkles, it has 95% certified organic ingredients combined with Paracress Plant Extract from Madagascar, a clinically tested wrinkle smoothing active that is proven to instantly smooth the appearance of lines and wrinkles – a natural alterative to injectable treatments.
“I hear a lot of women who are frustrated that their natural products are ineffective when it comes to age prevention. There is a belief that if you want to slow the ageing process, you need to turn to chemical-based products. This is no longer the case. Our products are clinically proven to achieve real results and many of them, such as our Line Smoothing Serum, have instant results,” says Karen.
All zk’in products are certified organic, vegan and cruelty free with ingredients that are clinically proven to improve the skin’s look and feel. There are no parabens, sulphates or petrochemicals. zk’in products contain gentle but powerful bioactive formulations to address skin concerns at every stage of a woman’s life. zk’in products are manufactured in Sydney, Australia in our own facility that is certified to ACO COSMOS and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards for the highest quality organic products. COSMOS is the leading international standard for the organic skincare industry.
The brand was founded by Grace Culhaci after she developed a skin condition during her first pregnancy. She began taking a closer look at what she put on her skin and was shocked to find products that claimed to be organic, natural or dermatologically tested frequently contained carcinogens and toxic ingredients. “We continue to work by these founding principles today, ensuring that all zk’in products deliver truly organic, proven and dermatologically tested products that are zero tolerant to irritation and unnatural ingredients,” says Karen.
The range includes products for women in their 20s and 30s, through pregnancy, their 40s and 50s, menopause and beyond. The products address a range of concerns including age prevention, dryness, oiliness, uneven skin tone, redness and irritation.
zk’in zero tolerance policy is broken down into the following areas:
- Zero tolerance to unnatural ingredients – these include petrochemicals which most organic beauty standards allow for. It also includes parabens, sulphates, GMO ingredients and nano particles.
- Zero tolerance to unsustainability – all zk’in products are free from BPA and the brand only uses recyclable PET, PP and PE packaging. All outer packaging is made from board created from sustainable forests. The brand strives to be carbon neutral and its waste management practices have achieved 95% diversion from landfill with all organic waste collected for energy creation.
- Zero tolerance to animal cruelty – zk’in passionately supports the ‘end cruel cosmetics’ bill to ban animal testing in the cosmetic industry. The entire zk’in range is also proudly vegan.
